davide 702b37b319 Cap SSE subscribers per client IP instead of only globally (B-38)
GET /rounds/stream capped concurrent subscribers with one global
counter (MAX_SUBSCRIBERS=500): anyone opening 500 connections degraded
every other user to polling. The comment called it a defensive cap;
it was actually the vector, since nothing stopped a single source from
exhausting it alone.

RoundEventBroadcaster now also tracks subscribers per client IP,
capped much lower (MAX_SUBSCRIBERS_PER_IP=5). Past that cap, opening
one more stream evicts that same IP's own oldest connection (woken via
a new EVICTED sentinel so the SSE generator closes it promptly) rather
than refusing the new one or letting one abusive IP crowd out unrelated
clients under the old global-only cap. The global cap stays as a
backstop against overall resource exhaustion regardless of source.

Extracted client_ip() (X-Forwarded-For, since Caddy reverse-proxies
every request) out of auth/routes.py into app/api/client_ip.py so the
login/registration throttles (B-33) and this new per-IP cap share one
definition instead of two that could drift apart.

Not implemented: enforcing the connection cap at the Caddy layer
itself, which the proposed fix also suggested - the standard Caddy
image this project uses has no such directive without a third-party
module, and building a custom image felt like a bigger, separate change
than this fix warranted.

Suite grows from 201 to 211 tests. BUGS.md moves B-38 to Previously
fixed.

PLM Lottery

A periodic-round lottery system built on PLM, a Bitcoin-like coin (mainnet). Each user gets a dedicated server-derived P2WPKH address; they deposit PLM to that address, place a fixed-cost bet to enter the current round, and when the round closes a winner is drawn who receives 70% of the prize pool (the remaining 30% goes to fees).

This is a custodial system: private keys are generated and held server-side, encrypted at rest. See CLAUDE.md for the full architecture, domain decisions, and known gaps before treating this as production-ready.

Quick start

cp .env.example .env               # then fill in the generated secrets, see docs/setup.md
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/generate_master_key.py
alembic upgrade head
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8123

Open http://127.0.0.1:8123/ for the test UI, http://127.0.0.1:8123/admin for the admin dashboard, http://127.0.0.1:8123/docs for the interactive API docs.

Or run the whole stack (app + Caddy reverse proxy with automatic TLS) via Docker:

mkdir -p data/db data/keys data/logs
docker compose run --rm app python scripts/generate_master_key.py
docker compose up -d --build

See docs/setup.md and docs/running-the-server.md for the full walkthrough (both workflows, dev vs. production TLS).

Documentation

Tech stack

Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy async + Alembic, Argon2 + JWT auth), Electrum protocol for PLM network access (no full node), Docker + Caddy for deployment. See CLAUDE.md for the complete list and the reasoning behind each choice.

Testing

python -m pytest                    # all tests
python -m pytest tests/unit/test_hd.py   # one file

76 unit tests cover HD derivation, PSBT building, the Electrum client, bets, deposits, withdrawals, the round/draw engine, RBF fee-bumping, admin config, the pending-inclusive balance calculation, and the SSE push channel. No automated integration tests against a live Electrum connection — mainnet verification so far has been manual (see CLAUDE.md's "Project status").
